About this listen
Critic Reviews
- Book Sense Book of the Year Award Winner, Adult Non-Fiction, 2003
"A classic is born in this tender, intensely moving and even delightful journey through a white African girl's childhood." (Publishers Weekly)
"This was no ordinary childhood, and it makes a riveting story thanks to an extraordinary telling." (School Library Journal)
"In this powerful debut, Fuller fully succeeds in memorializing the beauty of each desert puddle and each African summer night sky while also recognizing that beauty can lie hidden in the faces of those who have crossed her path. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"An honest, moving portrait of one family struggling to survive tumultuous times." (Booklist)

A walk down memory lane
An honest look at living in Africa. The narrator does an excellent job. Give yourself time to get settled into the book, it's worth it!

rich language, perfect narration
I loved this book and I think anyone with any history in Africa will too. It's not my story but every part of it was familiar in some way and took me back to very different times.
